As Teddi Mellencamp navigates her cancer treatment, she’s had to deal with the toll that her medication has taken on her body — including her sex drive.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 43, opened up about how her sex life has changed since her treatment began on the Wednesday, April 9, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Diamonds in the Rough” podcast, which she cohosts with Erika Jayne.
“After going through all of this, they’ve changed my medication, I have a sex drive. It’s really hard for me,” she said. “Not to TMI, but I even tried myself, and I was like, ‘This is f***ing exhausting. This is exhausting.’”
She continued, “I tried it the night before last, and I was like, ‘Well, I can’t do this again.’ I achieved, but I had to achieve it in a way that wasn’t the way it was set up to achieve.”

The show led Mellencamp and Jayne, 53, to go deeper into a discussion about how one’s sex life can evolve throughout marriage and aging. Mellencamp said that after a while, sex between the same two partners can become “procedural.”
“If you don’t speak up for what it is that you want or what it is that you’re looking for, most likely your partner is going to do it wrong,” she explained. “And not just sex, but, like, intimacy or comfort.”
Mellencamp’s open discussion came just days after she completed radiation treatment for brain cancer. She had her final course of treatment on April 3, ringing the ceremonial bell at the end.

“Ringing the bell can signify a major phase of treatment — today was my last day of radiation,” she wrote over a video posted via Instagram. “5 more rounds of immunotherapy to go. Love you all for the kind messages.”
Mellencamp first revealed her diagnosis in February before she underwent surgery to address multiple brain tumors. In late March, doctors found more tumors on her brain.
“I’m fighting for my life,” Mellencamp told Us Weekly exclusively in a cover story. “But also for my family’s life and all the people I love.”
“This is definitely the hardest thing [I’ve faced in my life], but now it feels less hard,” she continued. “When I was in the ICU, it was incredibly difficult because I had no memory. One day, I realized it was my daughter’s birthday, and I couldn’t be there for it; it was really sad. It’s still sad when I can’t be there for my kids the way I’d normally be.”
